Moving ahead and having goals

 There are things you can find time to talk about such as the upcoming Now Yearbook 1992 Extra cd set this weekend that will go with the main cd set from a year that had personal highs and lows that took a good while to really get my head to a good spot over after what had seemed a promising three years before.

It's good to hear some of those songs that were on the radio or played in the local HMV store at lunchtimes then.

Then there is the fact we have made progress within the Garden with the last remaining errant item moved to the tip where it should of gone, things being much tidier and the basis for laying a base for a new shed.

I have managed to get out a few times this summer with one trip arranged for the beginning of next year which has helped in dealing with the emotional impact of Mom's death for doing things and being with people just getting out of house and all that's in it.

One thing I'm really pleased about is how Women's soccer has come on from the days girls struggled to even get a kickabout in the playground or the street to today where I see girls going to park to play.

Mom played which was very exception back then with her brother and his friends as being the oldest she was expected to look after and generally keep an eye on him and thus loved the game as much as any man.

I'm sure she'd of been proud of that three-one win over Australia this week

We can dare to dream writing new chapters in our lives.

Fashion updates

It's a warmer drier week compared with last week and much of July so after the marathon washing of the stuff I took with me thoughts were on newer attire as I had been wearing some different things while away, things I had bought around late 2021 and early February 2022 before I was very unwell for a month and a bit.

Usually I tended to wear more formal uniform skirts and pinafore dresses as most of these things are "littles" related but this time I was wearing Women's kilts and indeed travelled out in one that was similar to my late Mom's.

I did get out a bit walking around a park, hiking and getting a bite to eat at a visitors centre finding it worked well interacting with shop people and the general public.

With that in mind I bought two more mini kilts, not being that keen on calf length designs which do look really good on me and to which have adjusters to help get a snug fit.

I did pick up some blue girls socks which while I had worn white opaque tights while away most of the time do work well and lacking anything like bows can blend in a bit better where the Muggles taking a break with their families may be around as school uniform does tend to be a bit more obviously obvious especially while schools are shut!

These will help I keeping things updated apart from replacing a number of missing socks that got unpaired over the last eighteen or so months.

Trying to get by in this world.

It's a strange thing in some ways that I officially measure up as severely disabled and did spend part of my childhood in a wheelchair you are more likely to see me on on my feet.

It would certainly be easier in some respects to be in a wheelchair like when at littles camp for sports and dancing which I struggle with on my feet and where at school I did disability sports and wheelchair dancing and that would aid what I bring to such events.

The problem area is that is something else you need to get on to a train where disability assistance both has to be booked in advance and is not that reliable when  it comes to getting you on and off the train and through barriers.

You'd need to allow for them in room layouts, turning circles and passageways. wherever I was staying.

So being on my feet admittedly  is more a matter of willing oneself, challenging restrictions to try and get the most out of life dealing with a disabling environment than anything else rather than what may perhaps be apart of the most appropriate way of getting about with my disabilities.

Sometimes being multi-modal when it comes to getting yourself about makes more sense.
